[0044] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in any manner without conflict.
[0045] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The present application discloses a scale treatment method for high-nickel stainless steel hot-rolled coil, which comprises the following steps:
[0046] S1, heating annealing treatment is performed on the steel strip;
[0047] S2, salt bath dephosphorization treatment is performed on the steel strip by a salt bath device 1;
[0048] S3, water cooling dephosphorization treatment is performed on the steel strip by a rinsing device 2;
[0049] S4, pickling treatment is performed on the steel strip by a pickling section;
[0050] In S1, the steel strip is heated by a horizontal heating furnace, and in other embodiments, other heating devices can also be used to heat the steel strip.
[0051] In S2, the salt bath device 1 contains a molten salt bath medium composed of NaOH, NaNO3 and NaCl, which can chemically react with the scale on the surface of the steel strip to achieve chemical dephosphorization. Meanwhile, the weight ratio of the components of the molten salt bath medium is controlled to be NaOH: NaNO3: NaCl = 6:3:1, and the temperature of the molten salt bath medium is controlled to be 450-550℃.
[0052] The scale on the surface of the stainless steel is composed of:
[0053] Outer layer: Fe2O3 / Fe3O4(loose layer);
[0054] Middle layer: Cr2O3(dense layer);
[0055] Inner layer: FeO·Cr2O3spinel structure.
[0056] Therefore, the scale structure is destroyed by the chemical penetration of the molten salt bath medium, the alkaline environment (NaOH) can dissolve SiO2 and other insoluble oxides, and the oxidizing agent (NaNO3) can convert low-valence chromium oxides into soluble chromate, thereby achieving the effect of removing the scale. The specific mechanism is that the components act as follows:
[0057] Utilizing NaOH to maintain alkaline environment, utilizing NaNO3 to provide continuous oxidation ability, together to promote the formation of Fe3O4 / Cr2O3-based composite oxide film.
[0058] (1) The role of NaOH:
[0059] Providing strong alkaline environment (pH> 13);
[0060] Promoting the formation of Cr2O3 passivation film;
[0061] Dissolving surface silicates and other impurities.
[0062] Typical reaction as follows:
[0063] Fe3O4+4NaOH→2NaFeO2+Na2FeO2+2H2O
[0064] 2Cr+6NaOH+3[O]→2Na3CrO4+3H2O
[0065] NiO+2NaOH→Na2NiO2+H2O↑
[0066] (2) The role of NaNO3 (sodium nitrate):
[0067] High temperature oxidant (decomposition above 450℃)
[0068] Providing active oxygen atoms [O];
[0069] Inhibiting the excessive conversion of Fe 2+ to Fe 3+ .
[0070] Typical reaction as follows:
[0071] 2NaNO3→2NaNO2+O2↑
[0072] 2Cr2O3+3NaNO3→2Na2CrO4+NO↑
[0073] NiO+NaNO3→NaNiO2
[0074] Fe2O3+NaNO3→NaFeO2+NO2↑
[0075] (3) The role of NaCl:
[0076] Adjusting the flowability of molten salt;
[0077] Enhancing ion conduction as electrolyte;
[0078] Promoting the uniformity of oxide film in cooperation with NaOH.
[0079] In the embodiment, the temperature of the molten salt bath medium is preferably 530±10℃, and the salt bath time is set according to the annealing efficiency to avoid the problem of intergranular corrosion caused by the long residence time of the steel strip in the molten salt bath medium.
[0080] In S2, if the content of NaCl in the molten salt bath medium exceeds 15% of the total components, the destruction of the passivation film by chloride ions will be accelerated, and the tendency of intergranular corrosion will be induced. Therefore, 1-2% of Na2CO3 buffer is added to the molten salt bath medium to reduce the proportion of NaCl to below 5%.
[0081] In S3, the rinsing device 2 contains rinsing liquid and is used to flush the oxide scale on the surface of the steel strip to make the oxide scale fall off. At the same time, the temperature of the rinsing liquid is controlled to be 80±5℃.
[0082] After the salt bath treatment, a large amount of oxide scale falls off, and the originally dense oxide scale becomes loose. When the steel strip enters the rinsing device from the salt bath device, the temperature of the steel strip is about 500℃. The rinsing device can reduce the temperature of the steel strip and achieve water explosion phosphorization under the action of quenching to make the oxide scale fall off. At the same time, the rinsing device can also flush away the alkali solution to reduce the consumption of acid solution in the subsequent process. Water explosion phosphorization refers to the fact that under the action of quenching, the oxide scale on the surface of the steel strip can become loose and cracked, and when passing through the rinsing liquid, the rinsing liquid can flush the oxide scale to make it fall off.
[0083] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 The salt bath device 1 comprises a salt bath pool 11 for containing the molten salt bath medium. The salt bath pool 11 is provided with a heating assembly 12 for heating the molten salt bath medium. Two guide compression rollers 13 are horizontally connected in the salt bath pool 11, the bottoms of the two guide compression rollers 13 are respectively immersed in the molten salt bath medium, and the steel strip passes below the two guide compression rollers 13. Two tension rollers 14 are horizontally connected in the salt bath pool 11, the two tension rollers 14 are respectively located above the liquid level of the molten salt bath medium, and the steel strip passes between the two tension rollers 14.
[0084] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 Since the temperature of the molten salt bath medium is about 500℃, ordinary rubber rollers cannot be used as the guide and support of the steel strip. Therefore, the two guide compression rollers 13 are respectively made of steel to withstand high temperature and ensure the guidance and support of the steel strip.
[0085] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the salt bath tank 11 is provided with two friction motors (not shown in the figure), the output shafts of the two friction motors are coaxially connected with the corresponding guide compression rollers 13 respectively, and the friction motors are used to control the corresponding guide compression rollers 13 to rotate synchronously with the steel belt. In the embodiment, the guide compression rollers 13 keep consistent with the speed of the steel belt, that is, the problem of relative sliding between the guide compression rollers 13 and the steel belt is prevented, thereby reducing the risk of scratching the surface of the steel belt and ensuring the quality of the product.
[0086] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The heating assembly 12 includes a plurality of heating rods 121, which are detachably arranged on the salt bath tank 11, so that the heating rods 121 can be replaced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost. In the embodiment, the plurality of heating rods 121 are arranged at equal intervals to improve the heating uniformity and ensure the constant temperature of the molten salt medium in the salt bath tank 11.
[0087] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The rinsing device 2 includes a rinsing tank 21 for containing rinsing liquid, and a guide rubber roller 22 is horizontally rotatably connected in the rinsing tank 21, the bottom of the guide rubber roller 22 is immersed in the rinsing liquid, and the steel belt passes below the guide rubber roller 22.
[0088] As described above, the scale treatment method is used to remove phosphorus from the high-nickel stainless steel hot-rolled coil by salt bath, instead of shot blasting machine and phosphorus breaking machine, the process is simpler, the phosphorus removal effect is better, the efficiency is higher, and the production cost is lower. At the same time, the mechanical phosphorus removal of the shot blasting machine is more delicate on the surface of the stainless steel, which effectively improves the quality of the product.
